In ACECQA approved qualifications for educators working with over preschool aged children,
is this for children ages 0-5 or the pre-primary level? My school is included but I'm not sure if I can have my qualifications assessed as an ECE teacher.
by the way, i asked ACECQA and AITSL if they can credit my units in ECE, but sadly they don't assess incomplete qualifications, kahit thesis lang ang kulang..:( sad, I really want to be an ECE teacher there.

do you have any idea about RPL (recognition of prior learning)? ACECQA suggested that I discuss this to them and they might give credits for the units I have completed. I tried to search about this, but, hindi ko talaga magets..

I've also replied to your personal message. But anyway, ask them which subjects/courses you are missing from your degree and perhaps your university can make the clarifications.
Hello! Tafe is one of the most common Registered Training Organisations that offer Cert III in ECE. Other than that there is ACCCO, and so on. Here is the link to the Tafe Brisbane course if you're interested to learn more about it: http://tafebrisbane.edu.au/course/10188/certificate-iii-early-childhood-education-care
And yes, you are eligible to work in an Early Childhood setting as soon as you enrol in the course. Good luck!

I am now working under DET as a classroom teacher in a specialist school here in victoria.
Share ko lang how i got the job.
This was june 2016, i was still in kuwait where i did not renew my contract. Victoria and qld both had the same requirements. So i was thinking of submitting my teacher registration application to both states. When payment time came e $249 ang fees sa qld and $99 naman sa vic. Hinold ko ung sa qld and i paid my vic application. Hehe. So underway n application ko as a provisional teacher since kelangan ng minimum 80 days of teaching experience in australia to be fully registered.
Since sa vic ako nag apply ng teacher registration e dun n dn ako nag apply ng trabaho. I targeted public schools since maganda benefits.
I passed my cv. Then i was asked for selection criteria responses. At first dineadma ko un. And i dont remember getting any favorable response. So i read abt it. And apparently this is one if the first things that employers look at to get u shortlisted.
So i started answering them everytime i apply. Usually schools have similar criteria. Then i started getting emails. While inwas still in Kuwait, i was interviewed via skype. I got a job offer after a few weeks. Since the principal had to speak with my character references who were in different parts of the world and it was raamdan, it took him a while to get a hold if them.
I went back to pinas and received a job offer in July. The principal asked me when i can start. And the rest as they say is history.

It's always inspiring to hear success stories! Is there a reason you wanted to move states? You are already registered in Victoria after all, and they said Melbourne is one of the most livable cities in the world. Anyway, if you choose to move to another state, it wouldn't be too difficult to get a transfer of teacher's registration. You would really just pay another fee.
Brisbane, Queensland is a really good city. It's in between the super busy city feel of Sydney and the rural feel of Perth. The people are nice and chill, not in a rush all the time. I wouldn't be able to comment regarding the school setting though so you would have to do your own research regarding that matter.

Moving states- i heard that the northern territory pays better that's why i'm thinking of moving states.
Maganda naman benefits and pay dto sa victoria pero gusto ko dn matry sa iba so may point of comparison ako.
I'm 3.5 hrs away from melbourne. Relaxed dn ang lifestyle dto and mas mura. I guess im still at a point where i want to explore other options.

Ano po initial job na pwede na pasukan, nag checheck kami online and it seems need ng Certificate III or equivalent as the least for childcare teacher. But her qualification is not listed on the approved ECT list ng ACECQA, so I think need niya pa-assess.
Maraming salamat po in advance!

To get her qualifications assessed by ACECQA, she'll need to:
-complete the application form;
-attach the necessary certified documents; and
-pay the fee.
Please note that ACECQA WILL accept electronic scanned versions of certified documents as part of the application. However, they reserve the right to request original certified documents at any time.
The application, required documents, and other things she need to know will be on this page: http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Assessment-of-equivalent-early-childhood-educator-qualifications

I want to ask you about your wife's teaching career in Sg, if okay lang?
Im here in pinas teaching kindergarten and a recruitment agency contacted me for a job orientation as a preschool/kinder teacher there in Sg. I would like to try it but I have some apprehensions.
How can I contact you or your wife? (since my questions deviate from this group's topic)
I really need your help. Thank you so much in advance.

1. Education - 4yrs bachelors degree. She completed a bachelors degree in chemistry (non-educ degree). I think she will satisfy the requirement.
2. Initial teacher education - at least 1 yr full-time study - She studied teacher/education units in order to be eligible for PRC licensure exam (she passed the PRC exam Secondary teacher). I think she will satisfy the requirement.
3. Completion of a minimum of 45 days of supervised teaching practice with students across the age range of 13 - 18 years in a secondary school setting. She did not do any practice teaching because when she was taking up her educ units at the same time she was already teaching in a private school. The university where she studied her educ units told her there's no need for her to do practice teaching since she's already a teacher (it makes sense actually). Plus when she was teaching back then, she was being mentored/guided by a teacher or faculty head which is a qualified teacher. I called teachers australia to clarify, i was advised that the practice teaching element is required and in my sister's case, 'coz she was already a teacher back then and the university must have taken that she already met the practice teaching requirement.
This is where I am bit unsure in terms of supporting evidence but I am thinking she can ask her university to provide a letter with information required by teachers australia stating that she met the criteria of practice teaching.
4. Since she stopped teaching for almost 10 yrs already, she does not have any relavant work experience to claim. Teachers australia only assess the education, practice teaching, english requirements and not the work experience component right? We are not going to claim any points for relevant work experience anyway. She will get 60 points without points for work experience.
To sum it up, we think she can get a positive skills assessment. Any thoughts pls? Thanks
Cheers

I'm Ayra. I'm currently a marketing manager with 7 yrs of experience. I hav a business management degree but I want to migrate in Oz as a pre-school teacher. My ministry in church is to teach under privileged kids which lead me to my decision to course correct. Just want to ask which one between taking up an associate degree in Uni or bachelors in tafe both covering early childhood education is a better option. Or hope you can give me other tips that I may gut no have considered. Thanks in advance

If not, you have other states to choose from if victoria insists on you having to have experience in foreign language teaching. But i'm really confident that it is not a requirement to be registered with VIT. They are more concerned with teacher standards and ur knowledge of their currcilum.

Since you do not have any way of migrating with a skilled visa, your options would be applying for a student visa or a working holiday visa instead.
